“…… What Xia Guan said is true, the emperor and the crown prince of Zhu Thief are in the Tianjin Acropolis! Please send two generals to besiege Tianjin quickly, so as to catch these two thieves! ”

Twenty miles west of Tianjin, after Li Guo and Tang Tong listened to Yuan Yuzong's report, the two looked at each other, but they were silent, and they both had a little surprised look on their faces.

Li Guo and Tang Tong now knew that Chongzhen on the Zhengyang Gate in Beijing was a Xibei goods, and it was the 3,000 reinforcements sent by Li Zicheng who brought the news to the two of them, and they were also the soldiers and horses of the old battalion rear army commanded by Li Guo. Arriving with the reinforcements, there was also a holy decree that strictly ordered Li Guo and Tang Tong to arrest Chongzhen's father and son!

Not long after the two received the holy decree to arrest Chongzhen's father and son, they learned the location of Chongzhen's father and son, of course, there was nothing to be surprised about. But the news that Chongzhen's father and son had actually joined Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Liaodong, surprised Li Guo and Tang Tong.

In the Tang newspaper they had obtained earlier, Wu Sangui's army was still in the territory of Yongping Mansion. Why did you get to Tianjin Wei all of a sudden?

That's a big deal! Wu Sangui's army fought against the Manchus in Liaodong and was notoriously fierce. Moreover, the Liaodong Army has 80,000 troops on the roster, and the actual strength cannot be less than 40,000.

And Li Guo and Tang Tong had only 11,000 troops at hand. At this point, they still have to besiege Tianjin, and they have to wipe out the enemy...... No matter how you look at this, it's going to die!

"Yuan Bingbei," Tang Tong asked with a frown, "Have you really seen Wu Sangui?" ”

Yuan Yuzong nodded and said, "See!" It was he who rushed into the west gate of Tianjin with the Yiding Raid and crushed the soldiers and horses of Xiaguan and General Li! ”

"Yiding Iron Rider?" Tang Tong took a cool breath, "That Yiding Tuqi is one in a hundred strong men, and everyone wears iron armor!" ”

"Yes, yes, everybody's strong!" Yuan Yuzong nodded again and again, "All of them are all iron armor, and they are invulnerable to swords and arrows!" ”

Tang Tong said again: "The Yiding Turquoise Cavalry often uses fifty horsemen as a team to clash and decide, which is extremely fierce!" ”

Yang Weihan said with a shocked face: "Yes, they are dozens of horsemen in a team, and they are unstoppable in a group......"

Tang Tong turned his head to Li and said, "Master Hou, that's right, Wu Sangui has really arrived in Tianjin!" ”

Li Guo frowned: "Yuan Bingbei, Vice General Yang, do you know how many people Wu Sangui brought?" ”

"Maybe there are three or two thousand." Yuan Yuzong said, "There are also thousands of foot soldiers, what are the Kanan Battalion, the Tiger Guard Battalion, and the Guard Battalion, which should have been brought out by the Zhu thief father and son from the Beijing Division." There are also some brave men recruited by Cao Huachun in Wang Qingtuo, and there are also three or two thousand. ”

"How many are there?" Tang Tong asked.

"More than 10,000 people." Yang Weihan said, "There should be some left of Tianjin Wei's town army, and most of them will also belong to Zhu Thief." However, their total number will not exceed fifteen thousand, and the real elite of them is only three or two thousand of Wu Sangui's people. ”

"That's all?" Tang Tong asked again.

"That's all." Yuan Yuzong said, "If there are more, how will Xia Guan and Yang Shen get away?" ”

Tang Tong turned his head to look at Li Guo: "Master Hou, what do you think we should do?" ”

Li Guo touched his beard: "If there are only more than 10,000 people, they are not afraid of anything...... What about the Yiding Iron Horse? There are also 2,000 iron horsemen on hand, all of whom are the elite of the old battalion. is to fight it, and he is not afraid of him Wu Sangui! ”

Yuan Yuzong said with certainty: "There are only more than 10,000 people, if the Liaodong Army really arrives, the lower officials will not dare to set up an ambush in Tianjin City!" ”

Li Guo looked at Tang Tong: "Chief soldier Tang, how is it?" ”

Tang Tong understood what Li Guo meant, and arched his hand and said: "Master Hou, the lower official will lead the troops first, and you will be able to lead the elite to press the formation, and you will definitely be foolproof." ”

Li Guo smiled: "That's it!" However, Mr. Tang has to be careful, don't bend his sharpness again.

Now Beizhili is everywhere looking at the wind and falling, and the general trend is not clear...... So you don't need to fight quickly, as long as you drag the thief and don't let you get away. If they can really fight, they will have a brigade sent by His Majesty to attack! ”

Tang Tong said with a flattering face: "Master Hou's clever calculation, the last general will admire!" ”

Li Guo laughed again.

……

The Tianjin Acropolis had gradually calmed down, and even the sporadic fighting had stopped, and the entire city was completely controlled by Zhu Cihong's Ming army.

Ming officers and soldiers wearing mandarin duck jackets can be seen patrolling everywhere in the city, and there are almost no activities of Tianjin Wei people on the streets. The heads of rebels and thieves who had been cut off in previous battles, as well as rioters who had taken advantage of the situation, were hung everywhere to intimidate people.

From the West Gate to the long street of the Tianjin Governor's Office, there were dead bodies everywhere. Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian's headless bodies fell outside the governor's yamen, both of them were captured by their former subordinates, and then led to the governor's yamen and beheaded. Those who were killed with them were dozens of children of the Jin, Lou, Yuan, and Yang families, and the female dependents of the two families were also gone, so naturally there would be no good end......

There were more than 1,000 soldiers who followed the two generals Jin and Lou, as well as Yuan Yuzong and Yang Weihan who fled and rebelled together. Nearly half of them were killed and fled, and five or six hundred others were arrested. According to Zhu Cihong's order, they were all dragged to the colonel field in the city and publicly whipped! All the soldiers and generals of the Tianjin Zhen Army had to go and whip a few whips.

Those who are still angry after the fight will form a "dead barracks" to carry out the most dangerous tasks.

Such a severe punishment is, of course, to set an example for the chickens and monkeys. Now the Ming army on the side of Tianjin Wei is mostly fluctuating!

As for the group of strong men of the former Dashun Army, who did not know whether it was a fraudulent surrender or a real surrender, and did not know whether they were deceived or deceived, at this time they sat on the ground outside the lobby of the Tianjin Governor's Yamen, drinking wine and eating meat.

And there's a robber prince eating and drinking with them!

"Brothers, I deceived you on the battlefield before, don't take it to heart! Soldiers are not tired of cheating, one on the battlefield relies on fighting, and the other relies on cheating. But now you are all from this palace, and this palace has always been heartfelt to its own people, so I won't lie to you......"

Zhu Cihong and Hao Shaoqi sat side by side, holding a broken bowl with wine poured in one hand, and pinching a piece of meat in the other. The juice is dripping, and it looks a little dirty, not like a prince eating at all. And what is not like the words is Zhu Cihong's words, and he actually called a group of anti-thieves who had just recruited An.

And Hao Shaoqi and others don't dare to underestimate the prince now! Because they already knew that they had fallen for Zhu Cihong and let go of Emperor Chongzhen, who was about to arrive!

In addition, they also saw with their own eyes how Zhu Cihong was angry, how he ordered the whipping of hundreds of people, and how he ordered the beheading of dozens of large and small anti-thieves and men of anti-thief families.

When this sixteen-year-old young prince deceived people, he was calm and calm, and he looked like a veteran! When he killed someone, his face was as usual, and it was obviously not the first time.

And now, he is calling himself a brother and a brother with more than 200 soldiers from Li Chuang's old camp, eating and drinking together...... Is this person really the Prince of Daming?

Zhu Cihong glanced at the stunned Hao Shaoqi, and said with a smile: "Brother Shaoqi, this palace just got a military report that was not collected at night, and more than 10,000 people who rebelled are crossing the river, and they will arrive in Tianjin tomorrow." Do you know what part they are? ”

Hao Shaoqi's heart moved, thinking that he had to find an opportunity to leave this unfathomable prince, otherwise he would see through his plan sooner or later.

He immediately said: "Chitose Lord, that is the rebellious nephew Li Guo and the Tang Tong who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty...... There are about more than 10,000 people. Most of them are Tang Tong's subordinates, not very elite. The minister can lead the people to fight with the Yiding Tucai of the general army of Wu tomorrow, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor! ”

"Not necessarily." Zhu Cihong smiled, "Wu Sangui is not in Tianjin Wei, and Yiding Tuqi is not here." The iron cavalry you see today is a pretending Han general, who can't fight a tough battle. Therefore, let's defend the city and not fight. And there is no need for the flag-waving brothers and you to go to the city, you can rest in the camp. not to distrust you, but so as not to spoil your righteousness. You are all walking the rivers and lakes, righteousness is the most important, and this palace also values your righteousness.

Therefore the palace has ordered the weapons, armor, and horses that you have left in the camp to be taken. This way you don't have to choose between King Chuang and the main palace. You can go to the camp in Tianjin Beicheng on the other side of the Wei River to recuperate, and when the sea ship from Dagu Kou arrives, you will go south with the main palace. This palace is here to assure you that when you arrive in Jiangnan, you will be the heroes of this palace! Silver, land, women, there will be it! And this palace will not let you meet your old brothers with swords and guns...... Brother Flag, what do you say? ”

Hao Shaoqi's face has changed, this is a Hongmen banquet today! I thought that this prince was easy to deceive, but it turned out that he was a wronged man who suffered losses and was deceived.

Thinking of this, Hao Shaoqi immediately knelt down to Zhu Cihong: "Chitose Ye is righteous and thin, wave the flag and admire, please bow to the flag!" ”
